2. I start to draw the eyes and nose with the 2H, HB pencils to achieve different tones and thus define the features.

3. Then continue with the 2H pencils to make the clear areas and HB for the darker areas and so continue to outline the contours and shadows and for some parts I use my fingers to blur some parts.
